2014 ACT 8/24hr Championships

"The Long Plain-gaine" 2014 ACT Rogaining Championships were held at Long Plain, Kosciuszko National Park on 12-13 April 2014. The event also had an 8hr event. The event was set by Julie Quinn and David Baldwin.

The Long Plain-gaine featured the high country of the northern Kosciusko National Park with open plains, and black sallee and snowgum forests. Lots of rain in the previous week and the night before raised the level of the Murumbidgee River so that many teams got more than just their feet wet crossing. Competitors took in the relatively recent history of the high country through four old huts on the course and hundreds of brumbies. Many smiling faces at the end of the event from our 5 year olds through to the supervets showed that the country had performed it's magic on competitors as well as the course setters.
